Hmm, we do make the FK constraint depend on the ATTACH for the direct
children; what I think we're lacking is dependencies on descendants
twice-removed (?) or higher.  This mock patch seems to fix this problem
by adding dependencies recursively on all children of the index; I no
longer see this problem with it.
